I read the following in a book.
____________________________________
Scene 2: At the pool party
Cinderralla: Who is that?
Fairy: Who?
Cinderralla: The girl in the red dress, the girl with the lovely eyes, the girl with the perfect face, the girl with the umbrella.

What is the purpose for the author to use 'the' with countable nouns in the above context? Is there a difference for me to rewrite the following sentence as follows:
Cinderralla: The girl in a red dress, the girl with lovely eyes, the girl with a perfect face, the girl with an umbrella.
